AWARD WINNING MUSEUM Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum is a world-class facility in the heart of the Peace Country on a 10 acre parcel. Designed by Toronto-based Teeple Architects, it has been featured in several architectural/design publications including AZURE, NUVO, AMA, Conde Nast World Traveller and MUSE magazines. The museum, winner of several prestigious architectural awards, features extensive gallery spaces angled onto a unique set of beetle pine timber 7-beam nodal trusses, two classrooms, a 70-seat theater, research and collections areas, restaurant, gift shop, and tourist services. The triple-glazed zinc roof creates an exceptionally energy-efficient and sustainable building envelope to handle temperature extremes in the Grande Prairie area. The design draws on an abstraction of the palaeontological excavation experience with two massive retaining walls of poured concrete and gabions pushing back the earth to reveal the main galleries. PALAEO-HERITAGE Named after Canada s leading Palaeontologist Dr. Philip Currie - one of the foremost professional voices around the globe the museum honours his lifelong commitment to the discovery and study of palaeo-heritage. 3
